Great winch!

I actually picked my 8k ProMark winch (previous version of Silverback) used, to put on my '88 YJ. I was up at Gilbert, MN for the Crawl 4 the Cure this year and had to use it twice, once for me and once for somebody else that got stuck. It pulled great and never broke a sweat. Nice steady pull. Only winch I'll purchase because there is no need to pay four times more to get comparable quality!

installed on my 1992 Nissan pathfinder I bought an 8000lb silverback series because you need a winch one and a half times vehicle weight and my pathy the pig weighs in at a heavy 5100lbs ( hard to believe for a pathfinder) but I've used this winch 3 times now and it worked flawlessly. I bought the synthetic rope and will never go back to cable. LET ME TELL YOU AFTER USING CABLE THEN SYNTHETIC ROPE YOU WILL BE A TRUE BELIEVER AND NEVER LOOK BACK. the winch is a bit slow but not any slower than warn models that are similar. this winch yanked me out of mud that was up to my doors no problem. pulled me sideways out of a ditch when slide off road cuz of snow and a idiot driver who wouldn't get over. Also pulled a full size F250 out of snow and he was quite disturbed he got pulled out by a nissan without a warn. i love this winch and would recommend to everyone.

Great Winch....better than a Warn 8000

I replaced my 8000(and will never own another Warn Again!!!!!) with this Winch and the first 2 weekends out I had 6 tough pulls complete multiple snatch blocks and this winch didn't flinch. The only complaint is that it is not fast......but as long as it works then I can live with that.

I ordered this winch and mounting plate from Promark Offroad.Order arrived very quickly in prefect condition.Mounted it to my 2002 Jeep Wrangler in 1 hour. Its a real work horse and looks great too.The only tool I did not have at that time to remove the bumper mounting bolts was a Torx bit T-55 to fit the star shaped bolt heads.I purchased the T-55 bit at a auto store.I have had other winches in the past and this one out pulls them all. Thanks Promark Offroad for making winching a lot easyer and safer !

I have one of these on my truck. Works great. Looks good and it's about 1/4 the price of a Warn. Plus due to the current political climate I refuse to buy a Warn because they are in Union. How's that Hope and Change for you?

Bought 2 of these for vehicle recovery.

I bought two of these in the summer of '08. Mounted one each on two car hauler trailers. One of the wireless remotes did not work properly. The company furnished me with a new remote and contactor head assembly. Both of the trailers and winches are still in use after 18 months of almost daily use. These units have paid for themselves many times by retrieving several hundred junk cars from the hills and valleys of Northern New England. As with any electro-mechanical device, keep them sheltered from the worst of the weather, and keep them well lubricated (the mechanical parts) and they will continue to work as required.

Long-term

Well, this winch outlived my Jeep... Dropped the jeep off a cliff, but the winch is still fine (actually, the Jeep still drove around after the 20ft fall, too). This little winch saved me (and others) several times. I could always count on it to have practically infinite pulling power, and to break what it was pulling before it broke itself. I wish they would have made the controllers out of metal though... Yeah, it's slow. I prefer the word inexorable though. You want to take things slow and easy when recovering a truck, and this thing gets the job done cheaply. It'll be installed on my new trail rig soon!

silverback 8000lb

works great!! exceptional winch for the price, i rigged it up to my skid-steer and use it to pull logs and firewood tree tops out of the woods. i work the winch hard and many hrs' a day, not just once a month with a stuck vehicle.

Review by meanharleydude

Good winch for the price.

I have a Tree / Hauling Service and I pull some big tree trunk pieces on my trailer with the 8,000 Lbs. Gorilla Silverback Series. It is a good winch, but I put mine under far more of a load than normal. I had to have it rebuilt once, but it is ticking great now. A very good winch overall.

Review by ronstreehaul

Can't beat this winch

there is simply no reason to pay double the price for the Warn name on a winch. My Gorilla silverback is as quiet, as tough, and as dependable.. at half the cost. This is no junk Atlas winch, or one of the same knock offs with a different name. Use one of them, and be sure to wear hearing protection, as the gear noise and grind sounds like they are coming apart. Not so with the Gorilla,the fit and finish is superior, and the operation is as smooth and quiet as any high end brand name winch. good luck finding a better winch at a better price.
